    Help Battery life suddenly went to crap

    So I bought the Z3 at T-mobile, maybe a couple of days after it came out. As you know, one of the standout features of this phone is supposed to be killer battery life, which I was getting for maybe the first two months of ownership. Well maybe 4 or 5 days ago my battery life which would get...

    Missing Text Messages

    My wife has an iPhone and often we are in the same group thread, but when I read the thread from her phone I notice I didn't get a few of the messages. The same thing happens with my Dad who also has an iPhone. Anyone else miss some texts but not all? This is very annoying.

    Accessories Tech21 CaSE

    I picked up the Tech21 Tactical Case from my local T-Mobile store and I really like it. It fits really good and tight, it's slim yet very protective, they use a special material called D30. The guy in the T-Mobile store had it on his phone and he took his own phone and was bouncing it off the...

    Danger in buying unlocked Z3

    This really applies to any unlocked phone that supports HD audio and doesn't necessarily apply only to the Z3. It is a bit of a concern for me buying a phone that's not actually sold by the carrier. With HD audio just around the corner for many areas, whether or not the HD audio in the Z3 gets...

    Help Turn screen on = opens last app in use, can this be stopped?

    When I have finished with an app I press the home button which obviously takes me to my main home screen. The screen either times out or I power it off with the power button. The latter is most common. Now every time I use either the power button or the double tap option to wake the screen up...

    Screen crack...waiting...

    I purchased a Xperia z3 about 3 weeks ago. I've been babying this phone and have never dropped it. Out of no where, I noticed a hairline crack going from the top left to the bottom right. T-Mobile wants 175 for an insurance claim?! I called Sony and they said they will replace the screen if...

    First impressions

    I just got my Z3 last night from T-Mobile, I am coming over from a Nexus 5. The screen is gorgeous although I think screen resolution and specs are over rated on smart phones, everything looks really good. The design of the phone is "sexy" if you feel comfortable using that word to describe a...

    Can i use a different brand "faster" charger with my Z3?

    The one and only thing i miss going from my Samsung GS4 to my Sony Z3 is the speed the charger charged my phone. I don't claim to be knowledgeable on this kind of stuff other than i know its something to do with the amps the plug pushes out. So my question is this; can i use the Samsung GS4...

    Ruler for Z3

    Hi, I couldn't find any usable, ad-free and real full-screen ruler in Google Play, so I have now created my own ruler. It's calibrated for Xperia Z3. It's an image but you will quickly see that there is no need for an app to measure items.. Just save the image to your phone: Version 1...

    Z3v is a Z2 in Z3 clothing

    Tomshardware questioned Sony and was told the display on the Z3v is the same as the Z2 and not the better Z3 display. Ironic and follows suit with a reduced spec camera. I agree with others stating Sony must have had some excess components to run out, so chose the NA market ;)
